to all you people out there who got the heebie jeebies lookin at those spiders, yes i freaked out when i first saw them too. You don't get these kind in the north island, however you do get much smaller ones that are poisonous (white tail), id rather these ones which are bigger but not poisonous. Besides they're not as big as they look (with the zoom lens). The only poisonous spiders in New Zealand are the white tail, katipo, and the closely related Australian red-back spider.Even though they scare me i think they are very pretty through the camera lens.. And yes even Helen migrated from Australia (thats my theory anyway)
ladies only.
this is fun if you can take a few minutes....... which movie star are you?.
well, a team of researchers got together and analyzed the personalities.
You are ELIZABETH TAYLOR:
Everyone is in awe of you. You know what you want and how to get it. You
have more friends than you know what to do with. Your word is your bond.
Everyone knows when you say something it is money in the bank. You
attract the opposite sex. Your intelligence overwhelms most. Your memory
is the next thing to photographic. Everyone admires you because you are
so considerate and lovable. You know how to enjoy life and treat people
right.
yup thats me lol wish i had the $$$ part tho lol
i apparently turn on fast food employees so much so that i get free food frequently.
today i went to fazoli's to get food for myself and 2 co-workers.
the guy at the drive thru window thought i was hot and gave me all my food for free - no joke!
Restrangled-i have a 13 year old son and work in a shop (1 of my jobs) partime. There is a young girl that alway's follows the boy's into the shp after school demanding that they give her thier change or pay for her lollies & drinks (they usualy fall for it too) and she usually leaves the shop before they answer her (knowing full well they won't say no). One day she did this to my son & i asked him why he was paying for her? she called out as she was leaving the shop "coz i'm beautiful '. My son looked at me grinning & said "Well she is" . This realy peeves me off but (my son is a handsome boy and i dare say he will learn.) he knew full well she was using him and didn't mind.
"lord, i have a problem.
god asks, "what's the problem, eve?
"i know that you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all.
"Doncha realise there were no woman that came out of the womb BEFORE a male was born? See if you can find even one."
Well i'd like to know where all these ones came from: Gen 4:16 With that Cain went away from the face of Jehovah and took up residence in the land of Fugitiveness to the east of E´den.
17 Afterward Cain had intercourse with HIS WIFE and she became pregnant and gave birth to E´noch.
19 And La´mech proceeded to take TWO WIVES for himself. The name of the first was A´dah and the name of the second was Zil´lah.
i asked this of the elders and they told me the bible never mentioned the daughters that were born (to Adam & Eve) as they were insignificant! (i asked if that was because they never killed anyone you can imagine the look i got for that remark)
MsMcDucket i would have made a good jw but they didn't like all my quetions
"lord, i have a problem.

"i know that you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all.
"And she blamed it on the snake...just like a woman"
What realy gets me is that Adam blamed it on God: ?The woman whom YOU gave to be with me, she gave me [fruit] from the tree and so I ate.?
Any self respecting man would have admitted to his own wrong doing and not told tales on his wife also.
Not only that... it was ADAM who was given the commandment of God not Eve, Eve wasn't even created at that point...check it :
15 And Jehovah God proceeded to take the man and settle him in the garden of E´den to cultivate it and to take care of it. 16 And Jehovah God also laid this command upon the MAN: ?From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.?
18 And Jehovah God went on to say: ?It is not good for the man to continue by himself. I am going to make a helper for him, as a complement of him.? 19 Now Jehovah God was forming from the ground every wild beast of the field and every flying creature of the heavens, and he began bringing them to the man to see what he would call each one; and whatever the man would call it, each living soul, that was its name. 20 So the man was calling the names of all the domestic animals and of the flying creatures of the heavens and of every wild beast of the field, but for man there was found no helper as a complement of him. 21 Hence Jehovah God had a deep sleep fall upon the man and, while he was sleeping, he took one of his ribs and then closed up the flesh over its place. 22 And Jehovah God proceeded to build the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman and to bring her to the man....
did you have any favourite biblical verses as jws or after leaving?
for me it was: "everyone believing in me will have eternal life" as spoken by jesus.
I don't have a bible anymore but i think it is the shortest verse in the bible: Jesus said "come follow me"
